E.2. Advanced Books

By a happy coincidence, this book is printed and distributed by O'Reilly
& Associates, the industry's leading source of books for programmers.
And a big chunk of O'Reilly's catalog is dedicated to teaching
Unix, especially intermediate and advanced Unix. If this
book—particularly Chapter 7, Chapter 15, and Chapter 16
—have given you the programming bug or the Unix
bug, here are some titles that apply:
